Abstract: We prove an analog of the base change functor of Lambda-trees in the setting of generalized affine buildings. The proof is mainly based on local and global combinatorics of the associated spherical buildings. As an application we obtain that the class of generalized affine building is closed under ultracones and asymptotic cones. Other applications involve a complex of groups decompositions and fixed point theorems for certain classes of generalized affine buildings.

Review text

The authors consider generalized affine buildings, i.e.\ \(\Lambda\)-buildings where \(\Lambda\) is an ordered abelian group. The main results say that every epimorphism \(\Lambda\to\Lambda'\) of ordered abelian groups gives rise to a functor on the category of \(\Lambda\)-buildings to the one of \(\Lambda'\)-buildings with additional nice properties. One of the applications is the following fact: the class of generalized affine buildings is closed under taking asymptotic cones and ultracones.
